--- Comment #1 from Olivier Fourdan <fourdan at xfce.org> ---
By design, Wayland is a lot more secure than X11 and does not allow one
application to capture the content of other applications' windows, meanignath a
X11 based screenshot tool cannot work underWayland/Xwayland.

Both Weston and gnome-shell (Wayland compositors) have screencast and
screenshot features built-in.
